Chapter 376 Don’t Suffer
Huo Xin introduced Ning Weimin into a room.
As soon as he entered, Ning Weimin knew that this was a study from the rows of bookcases full of books against the wall.
Besides Jiang Hui, there were three men sitting at a square table with scattered playing cards.
When they looked up, Huo Xin introduced Ning Weimin to everyone present.
"This is Ning Weimin, the deputy manager of the operations department of our Pierre Carton clothing company, and also my supervisor. If any of you want to buy suits in the future, it is more effective to contact him than to contact me, a small store manager."
Then, before she could say anything else, Jiang Hui stopped her words with a bright smile and fulfilled her duties as a master.
"Xinxin, let me introduce them." Jiang Hui said, "Mr. Ning, this is my brother Jiang Hao. He is now the section chief of the Municipal Grain Bureau, but soon, he will He will be the youngest deputy director in the bureau."
Sitting in the back was a thin and fair young man of 27 or 28 years old. Hearing the sound, he waved his hand to Ning Weimin. .
His eyes are bright and lively, his tall and straight nose on his slender face is straight and strong, and his confident expression shows his shrewdness and sophistication.
There are indeed many similarities with Jiang Hui in appearance.
"This is my sister-in-law's brother Li Zhong. Speaking of which, you should be considered colleagues, he is also a businessman."
Following Jiang Hui, he introduced the person to the left of Jiang Hao.
This man is twenty-four or five years old, wearing a Hong Kong-style shirt, the latest electronic watch, and big sideburns.
His reaction was more casual, nodding, smiling and that was it.
That carefree expression paired with such fashionable clothes and trendy hairstyle makes him look a bit like a playboy.
But that’s nothing.
The last one sitting on Jiang Hao's right was a tall man with a pimple on his face. He was the one who took Ning Weimin the least seriously.
When Jiang Hui introduced him, he said, "This is Brother Wu Shen Wu. My brother's classmate is also the most friendly person."
But this man didn't even know a thing. There was no perfunctory enthusiasm. He just carelessly pointed his finger at Ning Weimin and said, "Sit, sit", which was considered a greeting.
To be honest, this seems to be a "hidden" or "informal" way of reception.
In fact, for Ning Weimin, it only proved a kind of indifferent contempt, which made him very unhappy.
You can’t blame him for being too careless.
But because our country is a country of etiquette, we are very particular about how we treat others in life.
Although this scene is just the first time for everyone to meet and get to know each other.
But for a sociable person like Ning Weimin, he can already see many problems.
When introducing each other first, Huo Xin gave a clear introduction to Ning Weimin's basic situation.
I don’t know how much Huo Xin said about him in private.
The information Jiang Hui fed back to Ning Weimin face to face was vague.
Except for the names Jiang Hao, Li Zhong, and Wu Shen and the relationship between the three, Ning Weimin knew almost nothing about the people in the room.
Secondly, when these people saw Ning Weimin, no one stood up, and no one wanted to shake hands with him.
This is definitely a taboo that is rude in social situations.
As Jiang Hao is about to be promoted to deputy director, he should never make such a low-level mistake.
Not to mention the last point from Wu Shen.
To put it bluntly, the person who is the "most friend" probably doesn't even have basic respect for Ning Weimin.
This is no longer disrespectful, but rude.
However, these are only one of the reasons why Ning Weimin is dissatisfied.
What is more important is what is hidden behind this kind of treatment. With his own business experience and the training of his master Kang Shude, Ning Weimin has long understood a taboo in doing things - rushing is not business!
The same goes for asking others.
If you want to rely on others to help you achieve something, the status and ability of the person you ask for is secondary.
The most important prerequisite is that people must be willing to do it first.
If you ask for help in a humble way, firstly, you may not be able to get it.
The second thing is that you are asking for change if you are trying hard. If someone is unwilling, they will not handle it well for you.
So since these people in the room looked down on Ning Weimin, it meant that they were not really interested in helping him.
It was just because he couldn't get rid of Huo Xin's face that he reluctantly dealt with him.
But no one, including Huo Xin, felt anything was wrong with their attitude towards Ning Weimin.
This also means that the hands that take people are short, the mouth that eats people is short, and the knees that ask for people are weak.
Everyone has already preconceivedly placed Ning Weimin in a position where he should be inferior to others.
If the current situation continues to develop, what good results can there be?
I'm afraid it's just these few people who said something to show off to Huo Xin and perfunctory Ning Weimin.
What about Ning Weimin? But I had to hold them, pat them, and coax them, and then I still couldn't get anything done.
That’s not all thanks!
To put it bluntly, although Huo Xin had good intentions, it was a disservice if he couldn't help.
It was like giving Ning Weimin a chance to smile and pretend to be a grandson.
So why bother? What a damn injustice!
Ning Weimin is not willing to suffer this loss, and he also has to control the rhythm of the conversation himself.
So his response was just a faint smile, said "nice to meet you", found a chair and sat down on his own.
It is not like what other people think. He will reach out his hand in a particularly affectionate manner, or even cling to me with a smile on his face.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly changed.
The two women and the three men were all stunned.
They looked at each other in confusion for a while, and they couldn't help but look incredulously, as if they didn't understand Ning Weimin's attitude.
Huo Xin, in particular, became anxious all of a sudden and couldn't help but give some advice.
"Weimin, Brother Jiang is worried about your affairs. He just made a special appointment for you today with Brother Wu. Isn't the Cultural Association that occupies your house under the control of the Cultural Affairs Bureau? Brother Wu has it I can help you with this..."
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin remained calm and did not accept Huo Xin's kindness at all.
He casually said "hmm" and said it in an understatement.
"Huo Xin, I just mentioned this matter casually, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously. Thank you, but don't mention it again. This kind of occasion is inappropriate."
He even apologized to Jiang Hao, Li Zhong, and Wu Shen right after.
"I'm sorry, you all should know Huo Xin. She is too enthusiastic and straightforward, which are both her strengths and weaknesses. I really didn't expect that just because I told her I'm so sorry for causing trouble for everyone with just a few words about my personal affairs. Please forgive me."
This blocked Huo Xin's mouth.
Moreover, Ning Weimin also distanced the relationship between the two parties and emphasized the superior and subordinate attributes.
Huo Xin was filled with grievances and confusion, but it was difficult to express an opinion.
The other people were naturally surprised and quickly exchanged a few glances again.
